Living in Gloucestershire

Whether you live on campus or not, you’ll be just a stone’s throwfrom everything Gloucestershire has to offer. Fromoutdoor adventure to nightclubs, bars and cosycoffee shops, there is something for all. Sports Take your pick from Cheltenham Racecourse, home of the world-famous Cheltenham Festival, Kingsholm Stadium, the base of Gloucester Rugby, and Cheltenham Town FC. You could watch a different sport almost every weekend, if you like.

Food You’ll never go hungry on campus, but there are plenty of delicious options in Gloucester for when you fancy something a little different. From Café on the Cut, which offers tea and cakes on a barge boat, to Hubble Bubble Coffee House, a quirky, family-run snack bar, there are plenty of unique places to relax after lectures. Nightlife Enjoy rock music at The 2 Pigs, retro at Fever, pop at Moomoos or up-and-coming bands at Café René and The Frog and Fiddle. You’ll find sports at Lounge 72 and delicious craft ales at TANK.

Adventure Explore ancient woodland and a dramatic river valley in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Go mountain biking on steep forest tracks, scale rocks or descend into prehistoric caves. If you’re looking for a more relaxing day out, try canoeing down the Wye Valley.

Festivals From music, arts and science to sports, food and tall ships, there’s a festival to suit every interest. Some of our favourites include Frightmare spookfest and 2000Trees music festival, as well as Cheltenham’s annual Jazz, Literature, Science and Music festivals which draw stars from around the world.

Living off campus When on campus, the surrounding views and greenery feels like you’re in the heart of the countryside, however Hartpury campus benefits from being only four miles away from Gloucester city, or a short 10-minute car ride away. This makes off-site living a popular option, particularly for those that enjoy the city-living atmosphere and choose to live in Gloucester city. Wherever you decide is best for you, Hartpury student life is vibrant and friendly. You’ll benefit from being part of the community and enjoy a range of freshers’ activities and social events throughout the year, wherever you choose to live.

Getting around There is on-site parking available to all on Hartpury campus. This is free to students that don’t live on-site. We find a lot of students car share and split fuel costs, however there is also a regular public bus service on weekdays from Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and the surrounding area, with a free Hartpury shuttle bus running during evenings and Saturdays. If you need to get a taxi, local company Andycars offer a discounted rate for Hartpury students, currently around£15 from Hartpury to Gloucester (£3.75 each) or £18 for a multi seater to Gloucester

Blackfriars Blackfriars is brand new purpose-built student accommodation. The newest parts were built in 2022 with Hartpury ccupying most of this section of the complex. Its modern style, with large communal areas and small queen size beds, makes it a popular choice. It’s perfect for those after a real city living experience, with the benefit of being right next to the vibrant Gloucester Quays - where you’ll have entertainment, restaurants and shopping on your doorstep. Blackfriars provides the perfect opportunity to meet friends and stay social. The complex is a student haven. You’ll find yourself living alongside lots of other students, so it’s a great way to make new friends too.
